The Adventure Of Toto

Ruskin Bond

Summary (Lets Revise Ch-2 Before Quiz Started)

This story is about the narrator’s grandfather’s admiration and liking for animals. He bought a baby monkey from a tonga driver and named it Toto.

He wanted Toto because he already possessed a tortoise, a pair of rabbits, a tame squirrel, a goat but no monkey. With the coming of Toto his mini zoo transformed into a real zoo.

Toto’s presence was kept top secret as grandmother abhorred animals. Toto was kept in a little closet which opened into the narrator’s room. Toto tore off narrator’s school blazer. Toto when kept in the zoo, started troubling other animals.
